DVD Releases Predictions

I believe that most people would buy Brave because its a kids movie and everyone has kids. Most people would rent the movie Bigfoot because its a horror movie. People don't really buy horror movies around this time of year. Out of all, I believe 2 days in NY would be the least selling movie out of all. There is not really a big promotion on this movie therefore there are not many people that know about this movie.

 Cave becomes classroom for Syrian kids  

A cave's interior has been carved into cube-shaped rooms. Improvised lighting, barely strong enough to illuminate the cavern, shows children sitting, legs crossed, on the bare floor.
They are calling out boisterously, raising their hands eagerly, clamoring to answer questions.
These are some of the students in Syria who, because of civil war, have deserted their schools and taken classes literally underground.
An amateur video, posted by a local activist on YouTube, gives a glimpse of one of these cave schools, which is reminiscent of the stone schoolhouse from "The Flintstones."
Behind the citizen reporter, Abu Diyaa, is a group of first- through fourth-graders who greet him graciously with a round of applause.
"Why here?" Abu Diyaa asks a male instructor.
"We want to keep educating our children," says the teacher, who does not give his name. "But in the city, there is always this imminent danger that the regime choppers or planes will bomb us or drop the TNT barrels."

ESPN Fantasy Projection.

It's not surprising that last season's compressed schedule took its toll on Wade, who turned 30 years old in January. He missed 17 games and required offseason knee surgery, though he should be fully healthy when this season starts. The downside is that the Heat likely will put less weight on his shoulders to limit his injury risk. Even last season we saw some dramatic changes in his production. He doesn't attack the lane as much; last year, he took 2.5 fewer free throw attempts and snagged 1.6 fewer rebounds per game than the previous season. He also essentially stopped shooting 3s. At this stage of his career, he's no longer a top-five fantasy option, but he should be a steady contributor worthy of an early second-round pick. Let's just hope he can stay healthy.
